i started watching my 7 year olds blood work due to problems in school with adhd and anxiety...i took her to a place that did not require doctors order...when i felt sure there was an issue i searched till i found a doctor to treat her..she got used to being poked....and when she got treated her adhd went away!

Reading about taking T3 in pregnancy is making me wonder. Although I only figured out last year I need to take T3, I have probably been hypo my whole adult life. My temp has always been low, I have always had to eat very little to not be hugely obese. I have a 7 yo dd who is obese. Always has been. (She was 9 pounds at birth.) She is very tall, almost 5 feet, but she also weighs about 130 pounds and has to wear large women's clothes because she has such a large tummy. Since I have been taking off weight, she is now larger than I am. As my clothes get too big for me, she starts wearing them. A few years ago she had a thyroid panel done, but it did not show the rT3, of course. We also ruled out a genetic issue at the same time. I have been hesitant to have blood work done again because it was such a traumatic experience for her. She is so chubby, it was hard to find the veins under all of the fat. Her diet is awesome. We stick to a

mostly organic, whole food diet. We limit grains, although that is hard because it's what she craves. She eats very little, often skipping meals during the day because she is not hungry. Is it possible she needs T3? Can you medicate a 7 year old? If she's too young to medicate, I would probably wait to go through the trauma of blood work again.

What are your thoughts?

Is the only reason you wouldn't self treat is because of taking

meds at school? That's not an issue for us.

I'm nervous about self treating, but I'm more nervous about

finding a doctor. I have given up on doctors. Luckily, we have a wonderful chiropractor

that I can get lab work done through.

yes she had a thyroid problem hashimotos eventually showed however not immediately...her thyroid and adrenal issues showed up before her antibodies...i found an antiaging doctor who was willing to see her..but i went to her first for myself to make sure i liked her and to establish myself as her patient..then i asked if she would see my daughter....she did not take T3 meds to start with...she started on NT and that helped a ton!! she is older now and we are still tweaking but her weight stabliized....and she felt better immediately on NT..and at times i have self treated her while in search for doctor...

Hmmm...So I wonder if all the kids who have ADHD actually need to be on thyroid meds instead. > > > From: Finch Drake <finchstacy@ ...>> Subject: wondering about my daughter> To: RT3_T3yahoogroups (DOT) com> Date: Saturday, April 17, 2010, 9:42 AM> > > Â > > > > > > Reading about taking T3 in pregnancy is making me wonder. Although I only figured out last year I need to take T3, I have probably been hypo my whole adult life. My temp has always been low, I have always had to eat very little to not be hugely obese.

Thank you for sharing this ! We are dealing with my almost 7 year old having ADHD, and some anxiety as well. I have an appt with her doctor and am going to ask for testing. He's pretty good about ordering things so I don't think that will be a problem. Being in range, but low might be another story. Wasn't it hard to take her temps every 3 hours while she was in school? Was it an RT3 problem? Or just hypoT? Did you have to test her adrenals, too?

Well, attention deficit is linked to low dopamine in the brain, which is why the

drugs are so closely related to cocaine -- which also raises dopamine in the

brain.

BUT I don't know if low t3 causes low dopamine! It would certainly be something

very interesting to research to find out!

I know t3 affects our serotonin levels (and maybe vice versa), and there are

studies on that one at least since psych docs have known for a long time to use

t3 when their drugs aren't doing the job by themselves. Too bad they don't just

try the t3 first!

That said, I do think there are cases when even t3 is not enough if your brain

doesn't properly make neurotransmatters.

it for my 7 yo.
